can someone please show me where this is. thinking of getting one and just want to cruise the net shopping and a picture would help
picture of rear locker switch
- Thread starter draaronr
- Start date
there isn't a switch for the locker, its built into the terrain response and will engage/disengage automatically varying on the setting you have the terrain response on and what inputs the ECU gets from the height sensors, wheel speed sensors, transmission, ect...
if you are looking for a truck, then you have to physically verify that the motor is on the side of the diff. It is supposed to be included with the HD package which also comes with a full size spare, but I have seen full size spares on trucks that dont have the locker and i have seen mini spares on ones that did. I have also seen supposed HD package trucks that did not have it and non HD trucks that did. heck i have seen lockers installed on trucks that didnt have the plugs to even operate it. LR is wacky sometimes.
You also CANT add the locker. the harness is integral to the body harness. and if it doesn't have it, then it doesn't have the wiring or the extra ECU to control it and whatever else it needs.
I don't remember what the screen picture dies when it locks or unlocks, but it does indicate it somehow IIRC.

If the car has the 4WD info screen (part of the sat-nav package), then when in Rock-crawl low-range, the diff icons will change from green to red whenever they lock. Note that just having a rear green diff icon doesn't mean that you have the locker - only if it changes colour.

On mine, it was two icons depicting a lock that was unlocked when the diff was unlocked and locked when the diff was locked.
Pretty cool to pull out of a stream onto a muddy bank and see that icon flip-flopping right up the embankment.
EDIT: If you had the NAV, of course.

Like we were discussing last night aaron.. the only sure way is to run the vin.
The HD pack with lockers are rare to find... good luck with your search... I wish mine met your criteria
